I love you

but with
  or without you
    the sun will rise

I will breathe
   the sweet air
     of morning

and I will know
    love
      again

Preguntas

Preguntas What comes next is a kind of answer - an uncoiling of sounds something like marrow seeping from a voice asleep by the river where green bands of parrots press to eat the salty earth - a voice under the roots of a walking palm, speaking its whispers about Neruda and how Neruda will make a voice pregnant with questions hidden as the nest of the yellow bird and the life of bones. The mouth goes numb; a bottle falls. Two horses move away into mountain shadow, walking the quiet of the stony slopes. Is there nobody here? Is there still nobody here?

deep

like the people shaped holes I make for feelings unfulfilled & fleeting see everyone I love loves to be alone eventually love'll leave an exit wound somewhere (I) always leave 'em laughing always leaves me curled up in bed last words will make lies out of everything else said another distance got the best of me this time

Literature

it's only everything

how to apologize to the air that I breathe for the fear of loss that costs everything when this grip that grasps forever is so suffocating when your ears have grown tired of these sad songs I sing see, panic and I have spent so much time alone that fright forms my features etched its shape in my bones and while I long to make my heart your home all flaws in design are completely my own I'm awkward I'm anxious but I'm also all yours for the rest of the years my dust circles this earth and though I know to you it must seem quite absurd I hope to rebuild on the strength of these words said

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

paint.

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

Loveless: Butterfly-Touch

His hands are almost always cold. They are cold and they are bony. Cold, bony and big but they're soft. Not even Seimei's hands were as soft as his. Not even when all Seimei did was to pat his head or tickle his cheek with feather-light touches - not even then could the softness be compared to those touches. His hands are even calloused in places – and there are scars on them he notices when he looks closer - but even though Seimei's hands were untouched by any kind of hard work or craftsmanship they do not compare to these. His hands are big, cold and bony, but they touch him like the fluttering wings of butterflies, caressing, strok

Tapestry

The morning is a tapestry... tripping over last night's grace, I watch you weave your skin and shake out your hair - soft teal and jonquil shadowing your cheek as the curtains part between your hands. Threads tangle as you turn, telling me dawn is a gentle lover, and the tumble of birds plaiting their soft notes lingers on the pillows where your smile is my undoing.

Literature

Suicide

This lovely suicide - the hiss of smoke dangling between your fingers and the loss of breath that claimed your sleep. Your limbs - somnolent, wrapped against the autumn chill fingers draped with paper angels as someone you never knew tucked a lily behind your dreams. I could almost hear your skin speaking eloquent and parched as summer, wondering if you had landed somewhere holy or if god had kept you waiting.

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

For Jennifer, aka ~ihatenature, who's having a hard time just now. Hope things are better soon.

Who would have thought that I would come back 8 months later and be in EXACTLY the same situation as I was in before? I still love it, by the way.
